“Pawn,” Scholtes said in response. Excuse me. I don’t know how to do this. This isn’t real; I murdered our child.
In a surprising turn of events, the other two children of the marriage informed authorities that their father would sometimes leave them in the vehicle alone while he “got distracted by playing his game and putting away his food,” as stated in the arrest report.
After first declaring the death an accident, investigators accused Scholtes with second-degree murder.
But further information, including statements from his children, has resulted in more serious accusations.
According to the kids, their dad was too busy playing a video game and putting food away on the day that Parker passed suddenly.
